Abstract

A data receiving station(1) inserts a polling request identifier and the request file number in a user area of a mail address of 〈forward-path〉 in a RCPT command to transmit according to SMTP. An internet facsimile apparatus(5) recognizes the polling request identifier and the request file number from the received 〈forward-path〉 to decide. When the polling request is present, the internet facsimile(5) apparatus transmits the request file data corresponding to the request file number to the data receiving station(1). The internet facsimile apparatus(5) thus transmits stored image data to the data receiving station(1) according to a request from the data receiving station. It is thereby possible to perform a polling communication over the internet.
